Are You Stopping For Winter ?.

October 2, 2012

According to the British Tyre Manufacturers Association, During testing they found that a car braking at 60mph in wet conditions has a reduced stopping distance of 5 metres shorter with winter tyres fitted. This is due to the rubber compound being more durable under colder temperatures. As with standard tyres, the rubber hardens below 7 degrees, causing reduced grip.

Your time spent in a queue

A survey done by the Daily Telegraph has calculated that the average person will spend 5 or more hours waiting in a queue every month. There is even an online calculator to calculate how much it is costing you in lost time. Remember, If your on £8.50 per hour that’s £42.50 you’ve just spent in a queue trying to save a pound. Click here to calculate how much it might cost you to go a get your tyres fitted the old fashioned way.

Simple tread depth Check

The easiest way to check is with a 20p piece. Simply insert into the main tread grooves of their car’s tyres. If the outer rim of the coin is covered by the tread, this indicates sufficient tread depth to be safe and legal. If the outer rim of the coin is visible, it is likely you need new replacements.

Why You Should Torque All Wheel Nuts

Every vehicle has factory recommended torque settings, these vary from around 75nm up to 200nm for larger vehicles. If the nuts are over tightened (and many are) this will stretch and weaken the thread and bolt shaft. More often though is If you have a locking key for your alloy wheels, these are much more likely to break when attempting to undo over tightened wheel nuts, due to their design.

That’s why here at etyres, we show you the torque setting for your vehicle and you watch us set them correctly.

Why not call us to arrange a tyre replacement and experience our best class customer care.

Caravan Tyres Supplied and Fitted

Do you know that caravan tyres will deteriorate with age, this happens to all tyres, it’s just that car tyres tend to use up the tread before the rubber starts to age, unlike a caravan tyre which the caravan association advise replacing them every 5 to 7 years or when you can see dry cracks forming around the tyre. if your not sure call us for a free advice.

etyres Customer Service Level

Mike – etyres writes: All the wheels that we fit tyres to are electronically balanced, all the wheel bolts are torqued to the manufacturer’s settings and all alloys are treated with copper grease to aid removal in the future.
The point is, we take great pride in offering a very professional and thorough  service to all our customers and there aren’t many places where you get the same level of care and diligence.
Plus our service caters for busy people who  don’t want to waste their time driving to and from a garage and hanging around for ages while their tyres get replaced.
The Olympics are about to start, the schools will be breaking up soon and  there must be better places for you to be then in a tyre depot.
